What is your exact setup? Something is not right, when done right the DP34 does work. I have DP Twin head used for 119 and 110 (you should have two wires into ports 1 and 2 on the switch, and a DP duo on 61.5 and connected into port 3. Check your wiring and lnb types as it could also be a legacy duo on 61.5.
DP34 and 61.5 - to PVR 921
Well I got hold of PVR 921 and per E* tech bought a DP34 switch. Now I can see 119 channels coming through DP34(Dish 500 dual LNB), but not 61.5 (with old 18 inch dish).
When I called E*, the techie won't tell me anything. They just wanted a installer to come to my home for 99 bucks!. And I been with Dish for the last 8 years!!
Do I need any more switches so that I can combine 119 and 61.5 feeds?
Any help will be deeply appreciated!
Thanks to everyone!

It should be as garys says, and I suspect he's also identified your problem. How old is that old 18" dish? Not that it matters for the dish, but its LNB must be DishPro (will have a dp logo) for use with the DP34. You didn't mention 110, so you need either a 2nd DP Dual on the Dish 500, or a DP Twin.

Thanks for both replies!!!
My 61.5 dish is reall really old. I don't think it has DP lnb. It is single LNB as well.
So if I get a single DP LNB I should be ok?
So far I have connected 1-2 to Dish 500 (119/110) and 3 to 61.5 legacy.
Thanks again!!
Hope this means you have two lines connected to the Dish 500, and yes a single DP lnb should do it. (Note: DP is marked on a DP lnb, DPP marked on a DPP lnb, those with nothing on it is a legacy lnb.)jsaki2000 said:My 61.5 dish is reall really old. I don't think it has DP lnb.

Yes. I have connected two lines from 500 to 1-2 of DP34.garys said:Hope this means you have two lines connected to the Dish 500, and yes a single DP lnb should do it. (Note: DP is marked on a DP lnb, DPP marked on a DPP lnb, those with nothing on it is a legacy lnb.)
I will get a DP dual/single LNB and connect to 3 port of DP34.
Thanks!
